5.0 out of 5 stars No magic wands. This book tells it like it is., October 30, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Finding a Career That Works for You: A Step-by-Step Guide to Choosing a Career and Finding a Job (Paperback)

You only have to open the first page of this book to learn that the process of finding a good career match is a very complex one. The author clearly states that right up front, and stresses throughout the user-friendly workbook, that we must gather TONS of facts before we can even begin to research jobs. Some people might be looking for a magic wand or an easy way to not do the work necessary to find answers. But, if you go through this book, chapter by chapter, you will learn more about yourself than you ever imagined...and only then can you be sure that you are connecting with the right career. This book is not for those who prefer to blame others for their lack of initiative. It will really move you forward.

5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding career-choice guide, August 26, 2001

By	Kate McMurry (United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Finding a Career That Works for You: A Step-by-Step Guide to Choosing a Career and Finding a Job (Paperback)

Wilma Fellman, M.Ed., has been a Licensed Professional Counselor for over 18 years. She specializes in working with adolescents and adults with attention deficit disorder (ADD), learning disabilities (LD), and other challenges, with respect to career issues. She is the founder and coordinator of Michigan Adolescent and Adult ADD Network for Professionals and is on the Board of Directors of the National Attention Deficit Disorder Association and the Michigan Career Development Association. Ms. Fellman is the author of the book, The Other Me: Poetic Thoughts on ADD for Adults, Kids and Parents, and co-presenter in an instructional video called Succeeding in College and Career with ADD. She has presented workshops at local, state and national levels on the subject of career development decisions for people with ADD, LD and other special challenges. This 200-page trade paperback has an index, a table of contents, a list of job-search resources and an appendix with sample resumes. It covers the following topics as they pertain to job search: (1) career development; (2) career interests; (3) individual skills, accomplishments and aptitude; (4) personality type; (5) prioritizing work and leisure; (6) early career dreams; (7) individual energy patterns and work habits; (8) completing a job history; (9) special challenges (such as ADD and LD); (10) adding new job skills; (11) the changing labor market; (12) job information resources; (13) how people find jobs; (14) preparing a resume and cover letter; (15) interviewing; (16) laws affecting the job application and interview process; (17) getting off on the right foot and adjusting to a new job. I heard of this book through a mail order house specializing in books of interest to adults, teens and children with ADD. However, this book is not only for people with ADD or LD. It is an outstanding guide for anyone, at any age, in the process of searching for a job or choosing a career. Ms. Fellman helps readers better understand their interests, aptitudes, personality and goals as the first steps in choosing a career. Then she provides practical tips on how to find a job in a chosen field. The many personal stories provided by the author of people who have found work they love are very inspiring. I also found particularly helpful a listing of occupations from the Dictionary of Occupational titles (DOT) published by the U.S. Department of Labor.

4.0 out of 5 stars Would have been useful BEFORE college...!, June 11, 2003

By	Melanie Rodriguez (Connecticut) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Finding a Career That Works for You: A Step-by-Step Guide to Choosing a Career and Finding a Job (Paperback)

This book explains well the different personality types and provides us with real life examples. I had some challenge when it came to assessing which type of personality I was. There is no formal questionnaire to guide us and I thought it lacked structure. Even though the authors provided many examples and description for each dimension that make up our type, it felt more like guess work to me than psychological/scientific findings. However, once I managed to figure out my type, the results were VERY consistent with reality.

It provides extensive descriptions of each of the 16 personality types and, highlights in detail what job satisfaction means for each of these types, accompanied with a list of best suited careers and professions.

This book helped me learn more about my type and understand more about myself, but I am still no closer to selecting a second career more suited to my personality, as they all seem to imply getting a totally different education. I wish I had found that book 10 years ago, right after high school!

I also recommend "Now, discover your strengths" by Marcus Buckingham. Powerful tool to understanding your areas of Strengths and underlying talents.
